Uncovering the student experience

In the final part of a podcast series, Professor Kate Purcell and two students discuss the highs and lows of their Higher Education experiences.

Professors Kate Purcell and her colleague Peter Elias from the University's Institute for Employment Research are leading the Futuretrack project, commissioned by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU), which set out to discover what the job market is really like for today's graduates. The research team surveyed all students who applied to enter higher education in 2006. They have followed those students for the last seven years and is now asking respondents to complete the survey for the last time as the project comes to its final stage.
